    Of course, the northern dialect is developed by the ancient Chinese of the Central Plains and the languages of the ethnic minorities in the north after thousands of years of blending and running-in; The southern dialect is formed by the large-scale migration of the Han people in the north to the south many times in history, and the resulting ancient Chinese in the north was formed after combining with different native languages in the south at different times. The north converges, and the south is different; The North is united, the South is diverse.

    Yes! When Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, [Shangshu] was burned. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when Confucianism was to be restored, a Shandong Confucian scholar in his nineties was invited.

    It can be seen that dialects have existed since ancient times.

    Yes, the current Mandarin was formed after the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were more dialects in ancient times, and the official language in ancient times was often the dialect of the capital where it was located as the official language, such as the Western Han Dynasty, the official language of the Tang Dynasty was Chang'an (Xi'an), the official language of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang and so on.

    Of course there will be.,Our current dialects are all developed from ancient times.。。。 In the past, if the dialect was accented heavily, the emperor didn't like it or couldn't understand it, and it would affect the career. So, no matter what time it is, it is important to speak Mandarin.

    Different dynasties approached different dialects, as follows:

    1. For the drama of the Ming Dynasty and the description of some texts, the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty.

    There are a lot of Wu Nong's soft words.

    The ingredients, although with the Beijing dialect of the Qing Dynasty.

    It's a little close, but it still sounds like a big difference. This may be the reason why the nobles and founders of the Ming Dynasty lived in Nanjing for a long time.

    2. The official language of the Tang and Song dynasties should be somewhat similar to the language of the Hakka people, most of the Hakka people are the Central Plains people of the Jin, Tang and Song dynasties who avoided the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, and they migrated as a family unit, but the language is not much different between the Hakka people, but there is a difference in tone, so these guests from the north all use the official dialect of the time as a daily communication language.

    3, Qin and Han. Maybe a lot like Cantonese.

    Or know the local dialects of Chaozhou and other places. This is also conjecture, because there were a large number of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty at that time, because of the internal strife of the Qin Dynasty and Xiang Yu.

    The practice of killing the Qin people made the Qin people who were far away in Nanyue and now Liangguang and the Jin Dynasty settle here, and they were the earliest Chinese people in Liangguang. Blended with the local Yue ethnic group, and established the current Cantonese and Cantonese languages.

    The ancients spoke completely differently from us, if the ancients were resurrected, we would definitely not understand what they said, and the current southern dialect is closer to the ancient spoken language, retaining a small part of the ancient pronunciation method, so the southern dialect is difficult to understand, such as Wu language.

    Cantonese. Of course, in ancient times, there were also dialects.

    In ancient times, there was also official dialect, which is equivalent to a common language of Mandarin today, which is the language that officials must learn to facilitate administrative communication, so it is called official dialect, and ordinary people should also use official dialect if they have a wide range of activities, which is convenient for communication. Of course, we don't understand the official language.

    Specific to the written language, the classical Chinese you are talking about is the unified written language of ancient times, and it is the written language used by the ancient scholars, and the historian you are talking about may mean that many people in the people cannot read and write, and literate people record it according to the meaning of their spoken language.

    The Wu dialect not only has a sound but also retains the voiced initials of ancient Chinese, and these sounds no longer exist in most Chinese dialects, and only some of them remain in Min and Hunan (such as Min is none).'d'tone). For example, there are 50 monophones in Shanghainese, 32 in Mandarin and less than 33 in Cantonese. Northern dialect, English, and French only have the correspondence of aspirated and unaspirated voices, aspirated voices and voiced sounds, and unaspirated voices and voiced sounds, respectively. And these three groups of sounds are all in the Wu language, and they are not aspirated and clean"Dial (give) [p], de [t], leather [k].", aspirated clear plosive"Splash [ph], tat [th'], gram [kh]."Voiced"Bo [b], tu [d], 搿 [g]."。

    From the analysis of history, literary style, and linguistic characteristics, the Wu language is very close to the Middle Chinese dialect, and the neat eight tones of the Wu language are the orthodox descendants of ancient Chinese. Compared with the official dialect, the modern Wu language has more ancient sound factors, and many of the pronunciations are consistent with the ancient rhyme script.

    Wu retains all the voiced sounds, retains the Pingqian rhyme of Pingqi and enters the Ping, retains the sharp-pitched differentiation, and retains more ancient Chinese words. Wu has a unique vocabulary and grammar in terms of pronunciation, intonation, and context from Mandarin. The pronunciation feature of the Wu language's forced conjunctional transposition in sentences is another important difference from other dialects.

    Cantonese. Cantonese is one of the dialects that retains more Middle Chinese components, and the most prominent feature is that it retains the common sound of Middle Chinese relatively completely, and its initials, finals, and tones have a good correspondence with the standard ancient Chinese rhyme books "Cut Rhyme" and "Guang Rhyme".

    In addition, Cantonese also has many unique or derived words, not only with nine tones and six tones, but also with a complete series of words, which is also rare in China's dialect system, and at the same time, it is also the only Chinese dialect that has been independently studied in foreign universities other than Mandarin.

    Wang Li believes that the Beiliu dialect is the Mandarin of the Tang and Song dynasties. Beiliu is the node of the Maritime Silk Road Ancient Road, and it will inevitably circulate ancient official dialects. At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Haisi Ancient Road was rerouted, and the Beiliu River was naturally closed and not affected by the outside world, and the Beiliu dialect became an ancient language fossil.

    The current Beiliuxiali dialect retains almost all the ancient phonetic characters of the Tang and Song dynasties.

    During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Central Plains Chinese underwent phonetic evolution such as "equal division of yin and yang", "voiced sound purification", and "three tones of the school", while the southern dialects such as Gan, Wu, Xiang, Cantonese, Min and Hakka had less influence, so the southern dialects are closer to Middle Chinese than the northern official dialects. Among the southern dialects, Hakka is the closest to Tang and Song Chinese, Hokkien is the closest to Chinese in the Han and Han dynasties (all relative to other dialects), Wu retains the voiced biological mother, and Cantonese, Min and Jin retain more voices. . . The northern official dialect is closer to the Yayin of the Central Plains during the Ming and Qing dynasties. . .

    Each dialect is in the same vein as the ancient Central Plains Chinese, and retains many characteristics of ancient Chinese in the process of development, evolution and integration.

    There is a big problem with this question, the pronunciation of the language is constantly changing, how ancient is ancient Chinese? Moreover, each dynasty has phonetic books, so there is no need to ask others, just check the information yourself! As for those who are stupid and complain about Mandarin, it is even more ridiculous......I don't want to say it, I don't want to listen to it!

    A lot of things are rules, and if you don't have the ability to break the rules, you will honestly abide by them! Does speaking Mandarin affect speaking dialects?

    Why didn't there mention the Gan language, the first place that the Han people passed through when they went south was Jiangxi, at this time the ancient Chinese was the purest, and when they went south to Guangdong and Fujian, Chinese was combined with the local dialect to form Hokkien, Cantonese, etc., and the difference between ancient Chinese was relatively large.

    You're getting the notion wrong. The phonetic characters of Chinese characters, ** disappeared in the Qing Dynasty? In the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, the pronunciation of the word "sound" has disappeared.

    In the southern dialect, I still maintain the pronunciation of the phonetic character. You'll find out if you look it up. This is stated in many scholarly concentrations on Chinese characters.

    It's also very good, into the sound of the word. It is very valuable in the study of the history of Chinese characters.

    The voiced initials of Wu language are intact, but the finals and tones are very different from those of ancient Chinese, and they are not intact. For example, in ancient Chinese, the nasal finals are three-point-m, -n, -ng, and the three-point -p, -t, -k, and the nasal finals of Wu are all grouped into a rhyme ending -gn (such as because English is not divided), and even directly fall off into a single vowel, such as three readings as se, reading as koe, and many diphthongs are merged as ke, discarded as fi, and all of the invoices are grouped into a guttural stopperThe wide continuous reading transposition of Wu language was originally a remnant of the Dongtai language of the ethnic minority, and ancient Chinese would not have such a wide continuous reading transposition, and the words, words, and sentences all had strict tones. The finals and tones must have a much greater impact on the sense of hearing than the initials, so the Wu language does not sound like ancient Chinese.

    Although most Cantonese and Min languages do not have voiced stops, their rhyme and tone systems are still very close to ancient Chinese, to be precise, Cantonese is close to the middle Chinese of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Min is close to the ancient Chinese of the Wei and Jin dynasties.
